<p class="MsoNormal">I am forwarding a message from Lila Lapanja a former Far West Masters scholarship recipient and member of the US ski team requesting support for her independent effort through team Cliff Bar Ski Racing. Normally we do not forward fund
raising solicitations to our email list. However, after consulting the Board I think this one is appropriate. Not only is Lila a scholarship recipient, she has given back to programs that the scholarship fund supports and remains a supporter of what we do
so it’s appropriate to assist her in return.<o:p></o:p></p>

for my career. The Masters Scholarship provided vital funding for me as a junior racer, from my Diamond Peak “J3” racing years through the time I was named to the U.S. Ski Team and skied on to win two NorAm Cup titles and taste the World Cup. You have encouraged
me to keep working toward my dream and the gratitude I feel is immense. Thank you for believing in me!</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#400080"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span lang="SL" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#400080">In my comeback season of 2016, after sustaining an injury that kept me from racing for 18 months, I regained my NorAm slalom
title and scored my first World Cup points. I kept focused on my dream of the Olympics and standing on World Cup podiums through determination, perseverance, grace and most of all, my love of ski racing<b>. <span class="xapple-converted-space"> </span></b>However,
after a roller-coaster ride of results this past year—from personal bests at Europa Cup and NorAm races to the challenges of a full World Cup slalom circuit—the U.S. Ski Team informed me that, based on their computerized performance band algorithm, I would
not be a named National Team member for this upcoming season. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#400080"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

had more speed and that I brought value to the world-wide ski racing community. My first decision after receiving this news was to call Gary Erickson (a Masters racer) and his partner, Kit Crawford—the owners of CLIF Bar & Company—who have been with me on
this journey since my beginnings as that determined and passionate J3 racer. We put on our ski-racing thinking caps and decided that we had an opportunity to create an independent, corporate-supported, world-class ski team. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#400080"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

ski team that is presenting a new paradigm in the sport of Alpine Skiing. This season, as the alpha test athlete, we will race as an affiliate of U.S. Ski & Snowboard—I have clear-cut criteria to compete again in the World Cup and have also been officially
named by the U.S. Ski Team as an Olympic potential athlete. I am thrilled to embrace the freedom that this opportunity gives me!</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#400080"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

the World’s best racers. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#400080"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
